Sharps working on all classics.

Been real busy at the shop, and with Instagram it's hard to get on the blog and post something.   A few things picked up a 54 Chevy Bel Air  that i will be building as a 60's hot rod. Hopped up small block with a 4 speed and a 57 chevy rear. On my 36 pick up not much has happened besides a 4 barrel upgrade.  Used an Offy intake and an early Corvette wcfb carb with some custom linkage.  Truck runs great now with plenty of air and fuel. As for my chevelle its on the back burner for a while. Contemplating on an LS swap with a 6.0l and a 6 speed.  But that takes some serious dough.  Here are some updated pictures. 

Life happens to fast.

I've had this blog for a while now but for a long while I have been too busy to write anything up. It's a lot easier to post an instagram post then to actually write up a few sentences for a blog. So here us my attempt at getting back on board.

In the past year and a half a lot has happened.  My family has grown, the shop has been really busy and I got an extra project for a family car. My first born is now 2 1/2 years old and I have a two week old baby boy now.

My cousin and I have been really busy with new customers and new projects.
I now have a 54 Chevy Bel Air that's going to be my new family cruiser.

In the next few weeks I will be filling you in on some of the things going on around me.
So here it is. Some pictures.

Shop life...

Been real busy on my new venture. The shop is cranking and I'm getting new customers with cool cars. I work on import and domestic cats but lately we have had the chance to work on some classic and exotic cars too. Currently in the shop I have a 72 GTO getting a new suspension upgrade and some minor tuning.  We are finishing a 56 Buick Special, getting it running for the customer.  A 73 Dodge Charger with some polyurethane bushing upgrade. A 72 Chevelle getting a tilt column as ND a 72 Nova getting tuned. At the same time I'm trying to get my hood on my pickup but need to get my water pump rebuilt.  My Chevelle is getting a E-85 conversion and some major horsepower tuning.  That sums it up really good. So on to the pictures.  If you want to get some work done you could reach me at the shop at 805-488-3110

Old school litter bag....

Back in the early 50's and 60's when you pulled in to a gas station they would give you a litter bag for your vehicle with a fill up of gas. This would go on any knob in the interior.  These are original to Jim Sharps Chevron Station back in the mid sixties.  The phone number is still the same now.
